- “Be careful when purchasing this game; clearly, there are issues when it comes to saving the gameplay.”

- “The boarding mechanics in this game are garbage. The camera is horrible to control, and the field of view is so small that all you can see is your character's back. There's no way to change it, and I had the advantage on a boarding ship, but because I couldn't control my camera or my captain, I kept getting killed.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with some players frustrated by the removal of a free version that allowed for in-game purchases, now requiring an upfront payment. While a few users noted the absence of microtransactions and excessive ads, others criticized the game as a cash grab, citing slow rewards and a lack of engaging content for the price. Overall, the monetization approach appears to be a significant point of contention among players.

- “I cannot find the in-app purchases section.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its epic quality, enhancing the overall experience during exploration and combat.

- “The music is suitably epic.”
- “The graphics and music are good, and the story is interesting.”

- “This game needs more animations, like the pirates on your ship moving to the cannons during combat. It also needs more voice lines, more music, and better ambience.”
- “Great game, but it needs a volume slider to adjust the music and in-game sounds separately.”
